Mussels

Chipotle & Wine Cream Sauce

Method

Prepare the Mussels

  1. 1

    Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Remove any beards attached to the mussels.

  2. 2

    In a large pot, combine the white wine, minced garlic, and diced shallots. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

Make the Chipotle & Wine Cream Sauce

  1. 4

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream, chopped chipotle peppers, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Combine and Serve

  1. 6

    Once the mussels are steamed, transfer them to a serving dish. Pour the chipotle cream sauce over the mussels.

  2. 7

    Sprinkle with fresh corn kernels and chopped parsley before serving.
